I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

the next day.

A bird's chirping came from outside the window. The bright morning sunlight slanted into the room.

Jill yawned.

Hmm... It's so cool to show off, but my arm hurts so much.

After all, swinging more than two hundred swords in three seconds, and using that somewhat heavy, invincible golden sword (Caliburn), would probably have strained his arm if it weren't for its high durability.

Hmm... but come to think of it, I think I also have a contract with a spirit?

Jill stretched out her right hand, looking at the elven inscription on the back of her hand. "Sword spirit... I remember seeing the inscription on the blade, Terminus Est... It must be the Demon Slayer that once slew the Demon King Solomon."

"...But King Solomon in the Type-Moon world would probably be so angry he'd spit blood if he heard that, right? Well...no, after all, he lacked human emotions when he was a king...hmm..."

Alright, time to get up. I should be full of energy today...

eh?

Jill felt something wriggling under the covers, so he pulled them off.

Something impossible appeared inside the blanket.

A beautiful girl with silver hair.

And she was... naked.

No, to be precise, she wasn't completely naked; at least she was wearing black over-the-knee socks.

A beautiful silver-haired girl wearing only knee-high socks.

…After a long silence of several tens of seconds.

“…You are…” Jill was a little speechless, after all, a beautiful girl suddenly appearing in the blankets…

“Est.” The girl answered expressionlessly.

“Estère?” Gil repeated the name.

"Yes. Human vocal organs cannot produce the pronunciation of a formal name, so it is called Esther."

"Then, Esther."

"Yes." The silver-haired beauty blinked her beautiful, transparent deep purple eyes.

She looked a few years younger than Lian.

She is very petite, perhaps even smaller than Claire.

"Why...are you...in my bed?"

“Because I belong to you, Master,” Esther replied without hesitation.

"...While there's nothing wrong with saying that, could you please use a different form of address?" Gil's intelligent eyes immediately saw through Esther's identity; she was indeed the sword spirit that Gil had subdued with the Chains of Heaven (Enkidu) that day.

"Then? How would you like me to address you, Master? Elder brother?"

"……no."

"dad?"

"Let me just say that I only look a little older than you."

"elder brother?"

“…Well, never mind, just like the other kids, call me Gil or Gil, it’s fine.” Gil sighed and said.

“Okay, Brother Gil.” Esther nodded and then said.

For a moment, Jill even wondered if she had been turned into a lolicon.

Impossible! How could this kind of tablet possibly attract me!

Do you think I'm some guy who's been sucking up too much black mud and is still chasing after the Knight King?

The only person who could turn me into a lolicon is Yi (crossed out), no one! There simply isn't such a person!

Well, no.

Then, at that moment, the sound of the door opening rang out.

"Gil, wake up~" Enkidu's cheerful voice rang out.

Then, in that instant, the whole atmosphere became awkward.

It felt like catching someone cheating in bed (smoking).

It really does look alike. Look, there's a healthy man, and a girl who's not wearing any clothes except for knee-high socks, and could be described as a loli...

Tsk, this can't be described as catching someone in the act of adultery; this is a crime!

“...Gil.”

"...No, Xiao En, let me explain..."

"Rebuttal invalid..."

Then, golden light began to shimmer on the ground.

"The awakened starlight, I will walk alongside humanity..."

"Don't activate your Noble Phantasm! Help me!" Gilles exclaimed in horror.

"What's the panic... Watch me." The voice rang out, and Jill lost consciousness.

……

This is half an hour later.

Then he saw Enkidu with tears in his eyes.

"Whoa!" Gilles was so frightened that he shrank into the corner at an unscientific speed. "Enkidu, um, let me explain, don't use your Noble Phantasm so casually."

"It's alright, Gil, I misunderstood." Enkidu sighed. "Why didn't you just say she was your contracted spirit, the sword I had tied up?"

"..." I wanted to, but you just said my rebuttal was ineffective and then unleashed your special attack on me...

correct.

“Speaking of Enkidu,” Gilles asked in a serious tone, “do you remember what kind of person sealed you away?”

"Huh? Why are you asking that?" Enkidu asked.

“No, just curious,” Jill said.

“…She has passed away,” Enkidu said.

"Is she dead?" Jill sighed. "Then why did she seal you away?"

“It’s not a seal, but rather using my power to seal that child’s power.” Enkidu looked at Esther beside him. “You’ll know the details soon enough, won’t you?”

"That's it... let's just leave it at that." Jill sighed.

"Sister Enkidu?" Esther ran to Enkidu's side. "Do you know Brother Gil?"

“Yes, he’s the friend I’ve been waiting for all these years, the one I’ve been talking about.” Enkidu nodded with a smile. “He won’t suffer the same tragedy as her again.”

Esther stared wide-eyed at Jill, her purple eyes gleaming with a mysterious aura.

Jill found it strange.

Her tragedy?

Est, also known as Terminus Est, is the holy sword that slew the demon king Solomon, the Demon Slayer.

So her former master was that saintess, Arecia.

What happened in Arecia?

Jill had read about the story of Arecia slaying the demon king Solomon in a book.

However, the story does not mention the fate of the saintess, Arecia.

Yes, the fate of the saint who saved the continent was not mentioned.

Based on the conversation between Esther and Enkidu, it can be deduced that the one who used Enkidu's power to bind Esther was the saintess Arecia.

Moreover... if, as Enkidu said, what happened to Aresia was a tragedy, then Aresia must have met a tragic end.

What price must be paid for using power sufficient to kill the Demon King Solomon?

Jill looked at Esther and became thoughtful.

"Brother Gil, what are you thinking about?" Esther's voice brought Gil back to his senses.

"No...it's nothing. Okay, let's go out." After saying that, Jill put on her Aresia Academy uniform, opened the door, and went out.

Esther was about to follow, but Enkidu stopped her.

“Listen carefully…” Enkidu’s beautiful eyes, which were usually filled with laughter and playfulness, had all disappeared, replaced by a strong killing intent. “If Gil hadn’t valued you so much, I would have killed you long ago.”

"..." Esther did not speak.

“You know how much power you possess, and you should also know what kind of curse you carry.” Enkidu stared at Esther with murderous intent in his eyes. “Remember, at the last moment, leave him.”

“You probably don’t want to see the person who’s willing to accept you be like Arecia.”

After saying this, Enkidu walked towards the door, then stopped and said, "Remember to put on some clothes, or you'll cause trouble for everyone, okay?"

Enkidu's tone returned to its lively manner, but Esther simply nodded, her purple eyes flickering slightly, lost in thought.

……

“Good morning, Goddess Claire Louju.” Jill sat down at the table.

“Master, you’re so slow…” Lian said.

“Something has happened,” Gil said, only saying this much. “Are you all ready for the Elf Sword Dance Festival?”

"Not yet." Lian sighed. "After all, Master, you know my situation."

“Yes, yes, I know.” Jill looked at Claire. “But Claire, you didn’t notice, did you?”
